A friend asked me what I hope to see happen on The World Race. I’ve thought about that lately, and the only response I have is I want to God to change my heart to be more open toward Him and His people. We are living in a critical time. Some are saying these are last days….I don’t know. I’m not an end times scholar, but I do know that whether or not Jesus is returning tomorrow or fifty years from now, I’m only interested in hearing two words when He returns—“Well done.”
Today, I’m celebrating 11/11—World Race Wednesday. Many of you have decided to partner with me on this journey, and I will be forever grateful. I’m asking you to connect with me, because as I’ve said before, I’m not walking in this journey alone. All of you are coming with me. I’ve asked people to consider donating at least $11 representing 11 countries. I’ve also asked that you would share my story with 11 people. $11 dollars for everyone I’ll come in contact with. $11 for every person I’ll tell about Jesus. $11 for every moment God will use to change me. $11 for God’s children all over the world.
People have asked me if I’m excited, nervous, or both. I do feel both, but I haven’t felt an overwhelming sense of either of those emotions. I will say that I have peace that passes all understanding. I’m walking in faith, and that faith is never based on feelings. I’m just continually saying, “God here I am. I trust your heart and your intentions.”
I continue to meditate to Matthew 11—“His yoke is easy, his burden is light.” I want to walk in everything Jesus says in His Word—whether here or overseas. He still heals (ask me, I can tell you stories.). He still provides (ask me, I can tell you stories). He’s a good father (ask me, I can tell you stories). He’s holy, and He longs for intimacy. (ask me, I continue to live this story). Thank you for your prayers. They’re carrying me.
In all things in my life and yours, His Kingdom come, His will be done.
